Slow Stitched Mini Quilt Kit in Linen
Introducing our new Slow Stitched Mini Quilt Kit, which is suitable for adults with no previous sewing experience. This is part of a collaboration with talented textile artist Rebekah Johnston. Rebekah creates quilted textiles that explore themes of emotional wellbeing and we’ve loved working together.
The process of making the quilt is designed to be calm and meditative and you can sew by hand, with no sewing machine needed! You may choose to sew your own design, or use Rebekah’s.
You can select from a natural or blue linen lead colours.
The kit contains all the materials you need to make your very own slow stitched mini quilt or wall hanging. Beautiful linen, cottons, a Milliner’s needle and backing fabrics are sent to you in a sturdy, reusable cardboard carton.
All teaching is through an instructional video where you can follow along at your own pace, stop, start and listen again as often as you like.
Rebekah guides you gently through the following techniques:
- Constructing a quilt sandwich
- Approaches to composition
- Raw edge appliqué
- Hand quilting
- Binding with the back of the fabric
- Decorative stitch techniques
